You guys have some good ideas here but remember to be realistic. We have less than a week, so I don't think a compilation of songs is doable. We need to decide on this soon and get moving.

I think we should send some sort of illustration. I agree with this one~ ;D Or, what about making a video? Members send in the songs they sang or short animations or anything to one person who can do editing stuff and create a video. Maybe we can make, like, "12 Books in 120 Seconds" like that, showing 667ers' dedication towards asoue? |

Given that we only have a week, something like that might be our best bet. After all, 667's gifts to Handler are usually a compilation of various people's proud efforts.

That's hilarious, tk!! I wish I could've thought of that. Who would actually send this thing? I think we should all just make a bunch of cards or one-paper-sided illustrations like the one above, and then whoever sends it prints them all out and sends them together or something.

I've been trying to think of some good suggestions, and unfortunately I keep coming up empty. But I agree with Mijahu: I like the idea of everyone making cards and illustrations like tk has done.

Since his birthday's in, y'know, less than a week, it should probably be something e-mailable.

We should videotape us acting out the whole series that fits under five minutes when completely compiled.
Along with his sexy bikini picture.

Here are some tentative lyrics to a song...
I’m no Melissa Etheridge, but I guess I’ll write a song,
‘cause earth days only happen once a year.
And Lord knows Earth could use a little loving about now,
so I will serenade that lively sphere.
Oh Earth, you’ve been so kind to me; you’ve pampered me, I know.
You fill my life with happiness and cheer.
Gosh Earth, I’m glad that they’ve designed a special day for you!
Hey, after classes, wanna grab a beer?
Earth day
Earth day
A day of giddy harmony, a mirth day
Earth day
Earth day
A gee-you’re-just-as-hot-as-Colin-Firth day
(and that’s not just because of global warming)
I look outside my window and the grass is lush and green,
the skies are blue and beautiful and clear.
Your friendliness envelops me, a warm and tender hug;
your attitude is not at all austere…
You motivate me, Earth; you make me want to change the world;
you make me want to try to persevere.
You’re not just Adam State; you’re Adam World and that’s just great!
You make me want to be a volunteer.
Earth day
Earth day
A day of giddy harmony, a mirth day
Earth day
Earth day
A gee-you’re-just-as-hot-as-Colin-Firth day
(and that’s not just because of global warming)
…Oh, wait, what? You said “birthday”? Daniel Handler’s birthday? Oh. Well … the same song can sort of work, right? Okay. Well. Happy birthday.

I'm no artist like Elle or tk, as I possess but a very limited artistic ability, a digital camera, and an ancient edition of Photoshop. Even so, I put forth my very best efforts and came up with this...  It's supposed to be Esme, looking all nervous for reasons best left to the imagination, with some birthday pancakes she just made. (Better not tell Jerome, or else he'll get jealous. ;D) Anyway, happy birthday to the brilliant and smashing Daniel Handler, who will hopefully enjoy my attempt at a birthday card.  |

I meant we, the forum. But I have no problem with we, you and me. I love you no matter what race you sing like, Libby. <3 I hope MasterViolet doesn't steal your love. What kind of song should we write? I'm stealing who's love? Huh? |

…Oh, wait, what? You said “birthday”? Daniel Handler’s birthday? Oh. Well … the same song can sort of work, right? Okay. Well. Happy birthday. There was laughter throughout the song (particulary at the Adam World bit) but this made me wake up my grandfather. I howled. |

Emma, I didn't notice your art before! I LOVE how you did the pinstripe~ (and, uh-oh, Jerry had better not see this one, Esme! ;D )
